| description |
The re-emergence of the political economy of punishment in the development of criminological theories, notably from the 2000s, promoted a rise of comparative analyses among different countries. However, such works have been basically limited to the core countries of capitalism. It follows from this that Latin American, African, and Asian countries have been overlooked by this theoretical framework. Drawing on secondary data (namely the GINI index, rates of unemployment, rates of imprisonment and data of prisoners’ activities) from the Brazilian case, this work brings a Southern and peripheral reality to the contemporaneous criminological debate on Political Economy of Punishment. It also shows how uncritical importation of criminological theories, as if they were a recipe, fails to understand the reality and demands of peripheral societies and their original combinations. It does not mean interrupting the dialogue with Northern and developed countries, nor to despise and reject advanced theories developed in, and for, other realities. Instead, a due contextualization of accumulated criminological knowledge, given the particularities of countries and regions here and there, can be helpful to better understand distinct phenomena experienced in such peripheral regions. This is shown by the relation between punishment and discipline in Brazilian prisons. |

Economía Política del Castigo en la periferia global: ¿Desde el silencio del norte a las importaciones acríticas? dal Santo, Luis political economy of punishment discipline prisons Brazil economía política del castigo disciplina cárceles Brasil The re-emergence of the political economy of punishment in the development of criminological theories, notably from the 2000s, promoted a rise of comparative analyses among different countries. However, such works have been basically limited to the core countries of capitalism. It follows from this that Latin American, African, and Asian countries have been overlooked by this theoretical framework. Drawing on secondary data (namely the GINI index, rates of unemployment, rates of imprisonment and data of prisoners’ activities) from the Brazilian case, this work brings a Southern and peripheral reality to the contemporaneous criminological debate on Political Economy of Punishment.

This is shown by the relation between punishment and discipline in Brazilian prisons. El resurgimiento de la economía política del castigo en el desarrollo de las teorías criminológicas, especialmente a partir de la década de 2000, promovió un aumento de los análisis comparativos entre diferentes naciones. Sin embargo, estos trabajos se han limitado básicamente al análisis de los países centrales del capitalismo. De esto se desprende que dicho marco teórico ha pasado por alto los países latinoamericanos, africanos y asiáticos. A partir de datos secundarios sobre el caso brasileño (el índice GINI, las tasas de desempleo, las tasas de encarcelamiento y los datos de las actividades de los presos), este trabajo aporta una realidad del Sur y periférica al debate criminológico contemporáneo sobre la economía política del castigo. También se muestra cómo la importación acrítica de teorías criminológicas, como si se tratara de una receta, no logra comprender la realidad y las demandas de las sociedades periféricas y sus combinaciones originales. Esto no implica interrumpir el diálogo con los países desarrollados del Norte, ni despreciar las teorías desarrolladas en y para otras realidades. Por el contrario, se argumenta que una adecuada contextualización del conocimiento criminológico acumulado, que considere las particularidades de países y regiones de aquí y allá, puede ser útil para comprender mejor los distintos fenómenos experimentados en las regiones periféricas. Así lo demuestra la relación entre castigo y disciplina en las cárceles brasileñas.
